Hilltowns Senior News for Wednesday, June 24, 2015

Our June 13 meeting of the Hilltown Seniors started with a moment of silence for a long time member, Ruth Mudge.

She always had a joke to tell me and I always admired her get up and go. We will miss her.

The anniversary dinner was well attended and everyone enjoyed the meal and fellowship. Alyce Gibbs and Jane Poelzyk were thanked for the wonderful job that they did with setting up this beautiful occasion.

Our next event is the senior picnic that will be held at the Knox Town Park on July 11. We will be having a chicken barbecue. Letters went out to all the members with a return request of July 1. There will be no walk-ins accepted.

August 18, we will be going to the Perthshire in Amsterdam for a clambake. I, personally, can't wait for that. I love clams anyway I can get them. The cost is $40.

It was reported that Liz Tobiassen and Skip Skinner need cards of encouragement.

Birthday greetings were sung to Bill Dibble, Dot Dibble, and Ruth Snyder.

Anniversary congratulations went out to Lois and Ed Wood who are celebrating 64 years of wedded bliss.

And we had one new member Janice Barton.

Next week news will be about our cruise on the Hudson River that we went on this past Tuesday.

Just a little laughter:  I was at the senior center today and failed a health and safety course that was put on for us old fogies. One of the questions was, "In the event of fire what steps would you take?"  

“Big ones” was apparently the wrong answer.
